You shall not covet your neighbor's goods

You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods

(CEV) "The Poem of the Man-God,", Vol. 1, p. 709Jesus says: "God gives everybody what is necessary. That is the truth. What is necessary to man? Pomp? A large number of servants? Countless fields? Banquets lasting from sunset to dawn? No. All that is necessary to man is a roof, a loaf, a garment. The indispensable to live."

"Look around yourselves. Who are the happiest and the healthiest? Who enjoys a healthy tranquil old age? Fast living people? No. Those who live and work honestly and wish honest things.

They are not poisoned by lust and thus they are strong. They are not intoxicated by orgies and are thus agile. They are not consumed by the poison of jealousy and are thus cheerful. Who instead craves to possess more and more, kills his own peace and has no joy, grows old precociously, consumed by envy and abuses."

"I could link the commandment: "You shall not steal" to the other one: "You shall not covet what belongs to your neighbor". In fact an immoderate longing urges one to steal. The step between the two is a very short one. Is every desire an unlawful one? I do not mean that.

The father of a family who works in the fields or in a workshop and wishes to gain what is necessary to secure food for his family, most certainly does not commit a sin. On the contrary he fulfills his duty of a father. Who instead craves only to enjoy more and takes possession of what belongs to other people to have a better time, commits a sin."

"Envy! What is to covet other people's property but avarice and envy? My dear children, envy separates man from God and unites him to Satan. Do you not remember that Lucifer was the first one to covet what did not belong to him? He was the most beautiful of the archangels and enjoyed the vision of God. He should have been happy with that. He envied God, wanted to be God and became a demon. The first demon.

Another instance: Adam and Eve had been given everything, they enjoyed the earthly paradise and God's friendship, blessed with the gifts of grace which God had granted them. They should have been satisfied with that. They envied God's knowledge of good and evil and were driven out of Eden and became disliked by God. The first sinners.

A third instance: Cain envied Abel's friendship with the Lord. And he became the first killer. Mary, the sister of Aaron and Moses, envied her brother and became the first leper in the history of Israel.

I could lead you step by step through the whole history of the people of God, and you would see that immoderate longing made men sinners and brought the country calamity. Because the sins of the individuals accumulate and bring disasters to the country, exactly as grains of sand, piling up throughout centuries, cause landslides which overwhelm villages and their inhabitants.

I have often cited little children as an instance, because they are simple and trustful. Today I say to you: imitate birds in their freedom from desires. Look. It is now winter. There is little food in the orchards. Do they worry about hoarding it in summer? No, they do not. They trust in the Lord. They know that they will always be able to catch for their little crops a small worm, a little grain, a crumb, a small spider, a little fly floating on water.

They know that there will always be a warm chimney-top or a flock of wool to shelter them in winter, and they know as well that when the time comes when they will need hay for their nests and more food for their little ones, there will be sweet-smelling hay in the fields and juicy food in the orchards and in the furrows, and the air and the soil will be rich in insects. And they slowly sing: "Thank You, Creator, for what You give us and will give us", and they are ready to sing hosannas at the top of their voices when they will enjoy the company of their mates during the mating season and they see their offspring multiply."

Is there a happier creature than a bird? And what is its intelligence as compared to the intelligence of man? A chip of silica compared with a mountain. But it teaches you a lesson. I solemnly tell you that who lives without any impure desires possesses the joy of a bird. He trusts in God, feels that God is his Father. He smiles at the rising day and at the falling night, because he knows that the sun is his friend and night his nourishment. He looks at men without malice and is not afraid of their vengeance, because he does not harm them in any way.

He is not afraid for his health or his sleep, because he knows that an honest life prevents diseases and grants a peaceful rest. And finally he is not afraid of death, because he knows that, since he always acted well, God can but smile at him. Also a king dies. And a rich man dies. A sceptre will not avert death, neither can money buy immortality. As before the King of kings and the Lord of lords crowns and money are ridiculous things, a life lived according to the Law is the only thing of value!"

Maria Valtorta: The Poem of The Man-God

Evaluation of the Work of Maria Valtorta by Padre Livio Fanzaga, Catholic priest (Radio Maria):"So I would say just that, dear friends, because I read The Poem of the Man-God, three times, 5 volumes ( CEV, ed), and then I am able to evaluate it in its complexity and its value, I feel like saying, dear friends, I do not know any more commentary on the Gospel more orthodox, more uplifting, more stimulating than this, and I would like, dear friends, that all of you would accept the invitation from the Virgin Mary to read this books because it's all true (They do not contain errors against faith and morals of the Catholic Church...) . Then read these books, my dear friends, because we would surely gain great benefits for your souls. It is not difficult to get them, and they do not cost a lot, 5 books that can be for you an indispensable spiritual nourishment "

PROTECT YOUR HOME WITH THE HOLY FAMILY: JOSEPH, JESUS and MARY

Message of God the Father: "My son, Listen and write. I recommend (translation) that this message be communicated to everyone and everywhere that you have preached in United States and in Canada. Remember the night when Padre Pio brought you into Heaven to see the Holy Family. It was a teaching for you and for the people who have heard you. It was also a sign to recall the night when my Beloved Son Jesus was born into the world. Remember how my Evangelist Matthew wrote by the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit how the star stopped over the place where My Baby Son Jesus was born. It was a sign for the Wise men. Today, it is a sign for you and for all Christians and for all the nations. The Holy Family is a sign for every family, and we should model ourselves after them. I recommend (translation) that every family, who receives this message, should have a representation of the Holy Family in their home. It can be an Icon or a statue of the Holy Family, or a permanent Manger in a center place in the home. The representation must be blessed and consecrated by a priest. As the star, followed by the Wise men, stopped over the Manger, the chastisement from the sky will not hit the Christians families devoted and protected by the Holy Family. The fire from the sky is a chastisement for the horrible crime of abortion and the culture of death, the sexual perversion, and the cupidity (lust) regarding the identity of man and woman. My children seek their perverted sins more than Eternal life. The increasing blasphemies and persecution of my just people offend Me. The Arm of my Justice will come now. They do not hear my Divine Mercy. I must now let many plagues happen in order to save the most people that I can from the slavery of Satan. Send this message to everyone. I have given Saint Joseph, My representative on earth, as a protector of the Holy Family, the authority to protect the Church which is the body of Christ. He will be the protector during the trials of this time. The Immaculate Heart of My daughter Mary and the Sacred Heart of my Beloved Son Jesus, with the Chaste and Pure Heart of Saint Joseph, will be the shield of your home, your family, and your Refuge during the events to come. My Words are my blessing over all of you. Whoever will act according to my Will, will be safe. The powerful love of the Holy Family will be manifested to all." —Tuesday, October 30, 2018 (Fr. Michel Rodrigue message)

Go to Mass on the first Friday of the month, have a Confession (needed if your soul is in mortal sin), receive the Holy Eucharist, for nine consecutive months without skipping one first Friday (or you have to start over).

I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all who on the First Saturday of five consecutive months confess their sins, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes...

The Magnificent Promises: "The soul who prays them will suffer no Purgatory. The soul who prays the 12 Year Prayer will be made conscious of his death one month in advance and more..."

Just consider these benefits:

No sudden, violent, by air, land, sea accident, by drug, by war, by natural disasters Death. You will be 100% prepared and at peace. The Grace of God, in Person and through the Sacraments, will assist you at the very last instant of your life on Earth. Read the Magnificent Promises. Take advantage of these Opportunities of Sure Salvation that death cannot destroy. You are destined to Heaven. Nothing on Earth deserves your ambition:SAVE YOUR SOUL.

Just pray if you are in doubt or you do not understand what happened to Pope Benedict and the role of Pope Francis (he is pope even if you may not see him as such) and the confusion in the Catholic Church and in the world. The enemies of the Church: the children of darkness are smarter than the children of Light, they want to destroy what Jesus created. Do not help them by criticizing the actual Pope and the Consecrated ones, be careful about what you read in the news or on Internet. Pray, Pray, Pray, with sincere heart for discernment to understand the hidden side of the unfolding events in these end times. Ask God and the Blessed Mother to help you know the truth and to be at peace. Pay attention to the words of the Consecration, during Mass. The one (it can be a Pope, a Cardinal, a Bishop, a Priest), who changes those words has embraced heresy and Jesus is not present on the altar. Leave that church and look for a traditional Priest. Do not let satan and his demons fool you. The next pope will serve the antichrist.

Avoid Sacrileges At Holy Mass

In 1950, 87% believed in the Real Presence. Today, that number has plummeted to a mere 34%. The abusive and hurried manner in which the practice of Communion in the hand was imposed after Vatican II lead to a widespread lack of reverence for the Eucharist and caused great pain for many in the Church. It disoriented many people, who with real justification — especially in light of the recent and overwhelming loss of faith in the Eucharist as the real presence — feared that the very heart of Catholic belief had been compromised.

"No more Communion in the hand, no more lay to distribute Communion because this sacrilege is causing the loss of many souls!"

"Children of My Heart, the Peace of the Lord be with you all. My little ones, many blasphemies are being committed with the Holy Eucharist. My Son is reviled in His Divinity through the impure and unworthy hands of My lay children. As mother of the son of God and Mother of humanity, I ask My beloved children, to put an end to this abomination! No more of extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, no more of Communions in the hand! The Body and Blood of my Son, are outraged by many lay people who give themselves tasks that belong only to priests and other consecrated Ministers such as: the Pope, the Cardinals and Bishops. No hand that has not been consecrated through the ministerial Priesthood, can touch My Son...

Little children, it is impressive the amount of Eucharistic violations that are committed by those defined in this way: Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist. Many of my lay children with the complacency of the Priest, exercise the Ministry of the Eucharist in many churches; their pride is common in many of them and it is reaching the point where many of the decisions that are taken by the priest, are being delegated to the laity. What a suffering I feel in My Heart, in seeing that many of My lay children desecrate sacred objects, taking from the Tabernacles, with their unworthy hands, the Cup where the consecrated hosts are present. I say to you: Only the consecrated hands of My beloved ones can touch the Chalice with the Consecrated Hosts, and only their hands may distribute Communion!

I beseech you beloved Children (the Priest): do not delegate anymore this sacred Ministry to My lay sons; do not make them guilty of sinning. Leave your conveniences and fulfill the Ministerial Priesthood that has been conferred on you! I ask my beloved ones: what are you going to respond tomorrow to My Father, for all the abuses and the outrages that many of you are committing with the Divinity of His Son? Heaven is crying with Me, in seeing how outraged and disfigured Jesus is in the Blessed Sacrament in many of His Houses.

My opponent enjoys any desecration that My Son receives. Many Consecrated Hosts get lost to end up into satanic churches for the celebration of black masses. My opponent has infiltrated in many of my Son's Houses, many extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist that betray Him by stealing consecrated hosts which are used to perform satanic cults. Thousands of Consecrated Hosts are sold and depending on the Minister of the Church who consecrated Them, in order to determine their price. A Consecrated Host by the Pope, by a Cardinal or by a Bishop, is sold at a high price and with these, they make a satanic special rite to cause damage to the Eucharistic Body of my Son, represented in His Church.

Satanists are destroying religious and priestly communities, with these Hosts Consecrated by the high rank Ministers of the Church. My beloved ones, I ask you to stop this outrage to the Divinity of My Son that is being carried out by my lay children. Every insult and desecration that My Son receives is a sword piercing My Heart. Many of my favorites lie in hell who in life have allowed these abuses to the Divinity of My Son, and with them many lay people, extraordinary ministers, whose spiritual pride did not allow them to repair and to ask for forgiveness from God for such a vile abuse. As Mother of the consecrated souls in my dedication as Mystic Rose, I ask you with all My Heart, My beloved children, to stop as soon as possible this abuse and outrage that is being committed against my Son's Divinity, because tomorrow you do not have to lament from it. Little children, no more Communion in the hand, no more lay to distribute the Communion, because this sacrilege is causing the loss of many souls! Your Mother, Maria the Mystic Rose."

Appeals of Mary the Mystical Rose to Her beloved children and to God’s people —January 27 2016

Avoid Sacrileges AT CHURCH

“The church is God's house. It is forbidden for men to enter here with bare arms and wearing shorts. It is forbidden for women to enter wearing trousers, bare headed, with short, low-necked or sleeveless dresses —St. Father Pio.”

Dress Properly the Day of your Wedding

Dress Properly in God's House

Give Honor to God in His House

Wash Your Soulwith the SACRAMENT of CONFESSION

Go to have a Confession, cleanse your soul. Save your soul! No need to live with the big rock of your sins tormenting you all your life. It is easy: see a Catholic priest. Give yourself a new beginning before it is too late.

"If you knew, how you shine after having properly approached the Sacrament of Confession.

As He (Jesus) is in the Confessional and where He listens to every word, sees in every corner of your heart and He is longing to bestow the Graces inherent to His forgiveness.

My children, while My Son is truly present hidden behind the person of the Priest Confessor, equally real is the Grace of Absolution and of Forgiveness from the Lord."— Maria, Mother of Jesus

Parents, be very attentive!!

"Parents, be very attentive of your children as my adversary wants to destroy families. Be very careful with what your children see, read, listen and play. I tell you this because the instruments of Evil, are using technology to slowly poisoning young souls through games, music, movies, videos, TV shows and literature loaded with subliminal messages that are driving many to spiritual and even physical death"

"Parents, correct the ways if your family, have much dialogue with your children, make time to listen to them as many homes are being lost due to lack of love, dialogue, understanding and most specially for not inviting God. Take God back into your homes, pray my Holy Rosary, as the family that prays together stays together."

Do not Put Tattoo Marks on Yourselves

"My children, to tattoo your bodies is a pagan practice that goes against God's Holy Word which reads: Do not lacerate your bodies for the dead, and do not tattoo yourselves (Leviticus 19,28). Remember that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit and you should not defile, destroy or burn it. I remind you that all those body markings come from my adversary and are evil instruments that only seek to defile God's creation and take you away from the path of salvation." —Mary Mother of Jesus

NO game where one requests information from the afterlife is good

"My children, playing ghosts, charlie – charlie, or scissors and spiral notepad are the same as playing ouija. It is same as opening your soul's doors so that my adversary and his demons can enter and possess you. NO game where one requests information from the afterlife is good. Don't think that by invoking the souls of your departed loved ones it will be them who will come responding to your call. I tell you that by doing this what you are opening are the doors of Hell. You know very well that my adversary is astute and disguises as an Angel of light to mislead you in order to take your soul. Many children and young adults are being trapped by my adversary by playing games where they request information and assistance form occult sources. My little children, when playing those apparently innocent games what you are really doing is opening your soul to my adversary so that he may possess you." —Mary Mother of Jesus

Parents, pay much attention to the video games your children play

"My little children, when playing those apparently innocent games what you are really doing is opening your soul to my adversary so that he may possess you. Parents, pay much attention to the video games that your children play as many of them are filled with occult rituals and actions with the sole purpose of opening the minds of your children and youth to violence, trespassing, sex, drugs, homosexuality, prostitution and murder." —Mary Mother of Jesus

Control the cartoons that your children watch

"[Parents] control the cartoons that your children watch as many are loaded with subliminal messages of violence, sex and all other sins of the flesh that will lead your children to lose their moral and spiritual values, and the saddest of all: the distancing from God and family. Awaken from your passiveness parents! Don't continue to be so permissive with your children. Remember that you are living in times of darkness and must be attentive with all that your children see, play read and listen. This so that tomorrow you won’t regret their misbehavior, and worse losing their souls!." —Mary Mother of Jesus

Act of Consecration to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

ALL KNEEL AND PRAY TOGETHER.O Sacred Heart of Jesus who made known to St. Margaret Mary Your great desire to reign over Christian families we are gathered here today to proclaim Your complete dominion over our family. From now on we promise to lead a Christlike life: we will strive to develop in our home all the virtues which bring with them the peace that You promised and we will not compromise with the spirit of secularism which You have so strongly denounced.

You will rule over our minds through our deep and living faith. You will be King of our hearts by our generous love for You; and we will cultivate this love by the frequent reception of You in Holy Communion.

Divine Heart of Jesus, preside over our family gatherings; bless all our family undertakings, both spiritual and temporal. Sanctify our joys and comfort us in our sorrows. If any member of our family should have the misfortune to offend You seriously, please remind him, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, of Your infinite love and mercy for the penitent sinner.

And when the hour of separation comes, when death brings its sorrows into our family, whether we go or whether we stay, we humbly accept Your divine will. At the same time we will console and comfort ourselves with the thought that the time will come when our whole family will be united lovingly with You in heaven forever. There we shall sing a hymn of praise to the infinite mercy and love of Your Sacred Heart.

We ask the Immaculate Heart of Mary and our glorious protector, St. Joseph, to offer You this family consecration of ours. May the memory of this consecration be with us always.

We will say one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be for the intentions of the Holy Father and for absent members, living and dead.

Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

0 Virgin Mary, most powerful Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and earth, in accordance with your wish made known at Fatima, I consecrate myself today to your Immaculate Heart. To you I entrust all that I have, all that I am. Reign over me, dearest Mother, that I may be yours in prosperity, in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in life and in death.

Most compassionate Heart of Mary, Queen of Virgins, watch over my mind and heart and preserve me from the deluge of impurity which you lamented so sorrowfully at Fatima. I want to be pure like you. I want to atone for the many crimes committed against Jesus and you. I want to call down upon this country and the whole world the peace of God in justice and charity.

Mindful of this consecration, I now promise to strive to imitate you by the practice of the Christian virtues without regard for human respect. I resolve to receive Holy Communion on the first Saturday of every month when possible, and to offer daily five decades of the Rosary, with all my sacrifices in the spirit of penance and reparation. Amen.

I, . . ., a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy Heart, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, in the presence of all the heavenly court, I choose thee this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, and to thy Immaculate Heart, as thy child and slave of love, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Amen.

Catholics be prepared. Go to Confession, receive the Holy Eucharist; pray the Holy Rosary daily to keep the faith. Seek the LORD, time is running out. Mankind is entering the Great Tribulation: cataclysms, plagues, WW3, One World Order, antichrist, to devastate our planet. Non-Catholics: followThe 10 Commandments

Mother Mary, "Refuge of Holy Love" pray for us

"I will refuse no one their chance to petition My Heart under this title. None will be left unaided. My special attention rests upon those devoted to Me as Refuge of Holy Love."

Mother Mary, "Protectress of the Faith" protect my faith

"Today, I ask clergy and religious to rely upon the Protectress of the Faith to safeguard the treasure of their vocations which are so greatly under attack."
